Xun Yu smiled slightly, "What the Marquis of Puyang said is very true... However, His Majesty is so eager to choose a successor before his body is cold. I'm afraid it's disrespectful to Your Majesty. Besides, who succeeds can't be decided by his loud voice. This matter

It is best to discuss the matter carefully and not to ruin the harmony of the royal family.

The late emperor, this matter is the most important thing."

Cao Biao's voice was very loud, and when Xun Yu stabbed him without any pain, he became furious.

He was about to have a seizure, but was stopped by Cao Chong.

"What the Prime Minister said is absolutely true, but my mother just said that a country cannot live without a king for a day.

If a successor cannot be selected early, I am afraid that the world will be uneasy... Therefore, I think it is better to select a suitable candidate first to stabilize people's hearts. Even if the enthronement is slightly delayed, it is not impossible."

Xun Yu's cheek twitched slightly.

But there was still a faint smile on his face.

He turned to look at Guo Jia, who immediately understood.

"Yehou's words are reasonable, but when the late emperor passed away, he left him alone in the care of King Lingwu.

Unfortunately, His Majesty has passed away now, so it is best to ask King Lingwu to return before making a decision on the candidate for his successor."

Cao Chong's expression suddenly changed.

He subconsciously looked at Cao Rui, with a fierce light in his eyes.

Cao Rui instinctively shrank, but when he saw Cao Yang and others standing behind him, he suddenly felt courageous.

"Ye Hou, why are you in Chang'an?"

"ah?"

"I remember that my father once issued an edict, but without the decree, the Marquis of Ye was not allowed to return to Chang'an.

Mother, can my father give an order to the Marquis of Ye to return the capital? If not, then the Marquis of Ye would be disobeying the order..."

The childish voice echoed in the hall.

Xun Yu's eyes lit up and he praised secretly in his heart.

Cao Chong's face turned blue and he glared at Cao Rui fiercely.

Cao Biao was furious, "Young boy, how can you be allowed to be so presumptuous here?"

He stood up and strode towards Cao Rui.

My Yan, Cao Yang, Cao Yun, and Jiang Wei immediately blocked Cao Biao and said, "Marquis Puyang, what do you want?"

Cao Rui also stood up and said sternly: "Puyang Marquis, my father's bones are not yet cold, you are so presumptuous, do you think you are guilty?"

Mrs. Huan could not get in the middle of the conversation among the younger generation.

Mrs. Bian and Zhen Zhaoyi also said nothing.

Cao Biao said angrily: "Young man, how dare you be so rude? A certain family is so presumptuous, who dares to punish me?"

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly heard a loud voice coming from outside the hall.

"If others can't cure you, how about treating you alone?"

While he was talking, he saw a man striding into the hall.

Behind him, Yue followed suit.

More than a hundred warriors wearing golden armor and holding swords poured into the hall, cheering. There were also two generals, each holding a steel knife in his arms, walking like a dragon and a tiger, with murderous intent. The two veteran generals walked into the hall and faced each other on both sides.

One stand.

The person who spoke quickly walked two steps to the main hall, bowed to the coffin in the hall, and cried bitterly.

"Your Majesty, please hurry up and hurry up, it's still a step too late."

As soon as this person appeared, the officials in the hall suddenly became commotion.

Xun Yu and Guo Jia, on the other hand, looked happy, looked at each other, and hurriedly stood up to greet him, "King Lingwu, how come you are here so fast?"

"In order to rush back to Chang'an, I ran away with three bloody horses.

Hum hum, don't think that Xiao Guan can block my return.

This king wants to come to Chang'an, but no one can stop him! Queen Mother, your majesty's death is indeed sudden. Just now, the Marquis of Ye said, "A country cannot live without a king for a day," and I deeply believe it. Although your majesty has not established a direct heir,

However, after the death of a father, it is natural for a son to succeed. I recommend Cao Rui, the martial arts lord. Sirs, who is in favor and who is against?"

The person who came was none other than Cao Peng.

After receiving the news, he traveled day and night to return to Chang'an.

Although there are small obstacles on the way, as Cao Peng said: I want to pass, who dares to stop me?

Cao Peng's sudden appearance caused an immediate change in the atmosphere in the court.

Cao Biao and others, who were still arrogant before, suddenly stopped. Cao Peng's dusty appearance did not change his majestic momentum. When he entered the main hall to fight, he looked around, and the ministers suddenly shut up and became silent.

Cao Rui's eyes suddenly turned red!

Daddy!

Daddy, he is finally back...

Xun Yu and Guo Jia looked at each other and immediately stood up and said: "The martial arts prince is young and smart, so he is indeed suitable to succeed."

On the side, Xiahou Dun also stood up immediately: "No one who is not a martial prince can succeed him."

Xia Houyuan said: "Martial Arts Marquis is indeed suitable."

"King Lingwu recommended it, and what I thought was in my heart." After Cao Ren said this, he smiled at Cao Peng and closed his eyes again.

"Martial Arts Marquis is the most suitable!" said former general Xu Huang.

"I will reconsider." Chen Qun said.

In the main hall, Dian Wei, who had been silent and standing with his arms folded, stood up and shouted sternly: "The late emperor passed it on to your majesty, and you are the son of the late emperor. Now that your majesty has passed away, you should pass it on to your heirs. Where did it come from?"

Are you talking about brothers who are dead brothers? Is it possible that we in the Central Plains should also imitate those barbarians... Wouldn't it mean that I also have to leave with my mother? It's really unseemly! A martial arts prince is the most suitable, what does Zhong Kang think?"

Dian Wei is famous for being a free-spirited person.

When he said this, it involved cultural traditions.

Mrs. Huan's face turned red and she glared at Dian Wei.

However, Dian Wei didn't care at all.

Xu Chu scratched his head, "Jun Ming's words are really vulgar. After reading for many years, he is still not decent.

However, what you just said makes sense.

Your Majesty clearly has an heir, why do you all turn a blind eye to it?"

Nima, can you be more shameless?

The ministers cursed in their hearts: You were like a quail just now, now King Lingwu is back, you jumped out. It’s just that you jumped out, and you dragged us in, wouldn’t it make King Lingwu feel sad?

Misunderstand?

This tiger idiot is so unbecoming of a human being...

Cao Chong stared blankly at the scene in front of him.

Along with the ministers who had expressed support for his succession, all of them changed their minds with the appearance of Cao Peng.

Five years!

Cao Peng stayed away from Chang'an for five years, but his reputation remained the same.

The title of King Cao of Hell still carries an unparalleled power of intimidation.

And this time he came back, the people from the Fu family who had not expressed their stance before came out one by one.

Yes, Cao Peng seems to be here alone.

But Chang'an is full of countless disciples and old officials...

Guo Huai, the captain of the city gate, came from his sect, Wang Ping, the captain of Yueqi, and Zhang Ni, the commander of Shesheng. There were also Zhijin Wu, Can and others, as well as the prefects and governors scattered around... Even Cao Zhang

His close friends Zheng Du, Huang Quan, Liu Ba, and Zhang Ren all agreed with Cao Peng's recommendation. How amazing is this prestige?

It's not that they were unwilling to express their stance before, but that they still don't know Cao Peng's attitude.

Cao Peng stepped forward and bowed to Mrs. Bian, "Queen Mother, the country cannot live without a king for a day! Please ask the prince to ascend the throne, which has already settled the hearts of the people."

When Mrs. Bian looks at this situation, how can she still be unclear about the situation?

Yes, Cao Peng was not in Chang'an, but the connection between Cao Peng and Chang'an was never severed.

At this moment, Deng Ji strode into the hall.

He brought a list of ministers who had promised to support Cao Chong.

"I have searched his home and found that the Marquis of Ye has issued several imperial edicts, so I came here to ask the Queen Mother to make a decision."

False edict?

That's like rebelling.

Cao Chong's face turned blue and white for a long time, and he was speechless for a long time.

After a while, he suddenly laughed!

"King Lingwu, what do you want to do with me?"
To be continued...
